Risk Management

1. What is Risk Management and Why is it Important in MT5?

   • Risk management involves strategies to minimize potential losses. It is crucial for long-term trading success and helps preserve capital.

2. Calculating Position Sizes using MT5:

   • Use the formula: Position Size = (Account Equity × Risk %) / Stop Loss in pips.
   • In the MT5 platform, you can also use the “Position Size” calculator tool available in the trading panel.

3. Using Leverage Safely in MT5:

   • Understand your risk tolerance and do not over-leverage your account.
   • Use lower leverage for volatile assets and avoid risking more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade.

4. Margin Call Level in MT5:

   • The margin call level is the percentage of equity to margin that triggers a warning. If equity falls below this level, you may need to deposit more funds or risk losing open positions.

5. Monitoring Account Equity and Balance in MT5:

   • Use the “Trade” tab in the terminal to view your account balance, equity, margin, and free margin. Regular monitoring helps manage risks effectively.
